A Democratic candidate for Congress in Illinois's 103rd district turns out to have a degree from the fake Walsingham University in London. She claims she spent two years earning it, and that she is being smeared by "the elites" because she's an African-American woman.

Note that the candidate in question is actually running for a seat in the Illinois House of Representatives (i.e. the state legislature) -- not the US Congress. She will face another Democratic candidate in a primary on March 18. The competing Democratic candidate has a bachelor's from the University of Chicago, and a law degree from the University of Illinois. From a degree perspective, these schools probably have more name recognition than Walsingham University in the 103rd District (which includes Champaign-Urbana).
